SESTA/FOSTA law has been signed
 

SESTA bill was issued by the USA government to clarify the country’s sex trafficking laws, to make it illegal to knowingly assist, facilitate or support sex trafficking. This comes in an era where sex has become so easy to buy, just like going to the grocery store or rather yet, just like ordering the grocery online. But, like many other bills, a good idea turned into a problematic law.

The bill, unfortunately, is not at clear on what sex work means and somehow, online adult industry and even live cam industry might be on the wanted list. The lack of knowledge about the different niches of webcam modeling has turned what could have been a positive thing for society and something that could have actually help stop sex trafficking, into a beat around the bush where everyone in the live cam industry that tries to post ads, look for jobs, ask for help, share resources and even do their job, has to resort to going around the law in ways that are actually detrimental to the whole concept.

The #girlsfromstudio20 and the #guysfromstdudio20 don’t consider the SESTA/FOSTA bill necessarily bad, as we can see where it comes from and the positive influence that it might have if written correctly. What harms us most is not having a clear separation between the sex work, the niches of adult work and live cam.

Camgirls and cam boys are not sex workers and should not be considered sex workers. They don’t sell sex. According to Webster’s Dictionary, sex is considered the physical activity in which people touch each other’s bodies. Cam work has nothing to do with one on one live physical interaction as the whole action happens online via webcam. And, most of the times, this webcam interaction does not include any kind of adult content.

But now it's time we help ourselves and we do our own self-regulation to make sure SESTA will not affect us. Today, most live cam sites have no clear and strong rules against solicitation and exchanging personal information like LiveJasmin does. Therefore, cases of models meeting up with members have been known to happen more than once. That, from our point of view, is the source of potential problems. That’s why we work exclusively with Jasmin, a premium site that protects us and our models against both members and the girls who solicit.

The #girlsfromstudio20 and #guysfromstudio20 are known for adopting the glamour niche, for concentrating more on building a mutual respect relationship with their members and not one based on virtual sex and that’s what Studio20 stands for. “Sexy therapists” or “Your best friend”, they are not only beautiful people to look at but also have an amazing amount of empathy and understanding for the people that they talk to via webcam.

In the last 5 years, Studio20 has been concentrating on the glamour and non-nude categories, trying to change the game and empower the models, investing finding interesting young people that don’t need to resort to meeting up with people in real life and subjecting themselves to risks just to make money.

The SESTA/FOSTA law that has just passed hurts as it’s not clear enough, as they didn’t take the time to care about the performers at all. What the live cam industry needs is a clear separation

Trump supporters here on GFY are so proud of Trump for doing this and they stand behind him 100%. Sad

OP just so you know, reaching for the whorearchy will not save you. Conservative voters don't consider camming an art form, and they consider you just as reprehensible as the sex workers you are so anxious to throw under the bus. No one buys your "we're better than those disgusting sex workers" argument, or your craven cowardly "this is good because it only hurts those icky sex workers, which we're not, because we're better".

People pay you money to jack off while you show stuff. You're exactly the same as strippers and you aren't better than anyone else.

The failure of FCP and choice bank will actually hurt cammers more than other types of sex workers, and this is all part of the same push.

I always wondered what type of spineless coward would show their greased-up ass to an invading army and sell out their own; now I know. Good luck with this - you'll need it.

it is shameful how a supposedly progressive country that prides itself on freedom targets the very weakest members of its population...90% of all prostitutes are dumb lost souls who are incapable of making money any other way...

No need for the insulting second part but agree with the first sentence

I think you got it all wrong, nobody's shaming anyone. There's no such thing as that. If you paid closer attention, the post was about creating a better perception for every niche, not throwing shade at anyone. We're all about peace here.
We need a clear niche. For everyone's well-being.

it was more of a matter-of-fact type of statement than an attempt to insult them...most of my workers are prostitutes and they are too dumb to do any other job...in fact most of them will be sex workers their entire life because they simply do not know how to do anything else than sell their bodies...you would not believe the stories I could tell you...

it is sad that bible slappers and politicians are oppressing them with their religious/political bullshit...I see the prostitutes as handicapped people who are mostly taken advantage of, and making prostitution illegal only takes them further underground and isolates them from government protection...

this SESTA/FOSTA bullshit will do much more harm than it does good...

Pussi outlaws

Regarding the FCP comment, you got a good point there.

We have to hang out some time - I like good stories

In your country Russia Putin does the same thing, porn is banned online in Russia, gay rights recinded , women's rights recinded. Dirty hospitals and neglect in orphanages, trash piling up all over Moscow.

You point fingers at America every fucking day and ignore your own countries stinking shit you hypocrite :disgust

America is way better off despite Trump signing FOSTA/SESTA

I don't think he is Russian - but seriously he has a point. SESTA FOSTA is misguided bullshit and so far is only hurting vulnerable people not saving anyone

*reScinded


you guys are supposed to be the leaders of the free world...other countries make no such claims, so it is kinda ironic that your government preys on its weakest citizens because of religious fanatics having too much influence in your corrupt crony government...

oh and pooty banned the gay parade for 100 years like an absolute boss...I had to sit down to compose myself from the sheer awesomeness of this...mother fucking pimp level over 9000 IRL :2 cents::2 cents::2 cents:
